    Moved from UK to ROI, can debt follow me?

    Moved from UK to ROI, can debt follow me?

    Quote: Moral Ethos. "You sound like a solicitor that tried that line on a debtor in court only to be held in contempt by the judge. A spouses income cannot be taken into account in the calculation of means to pay a debt". -------------------------------------------------------...

    Can ESB meter reader clamber over wall and ignore closed gates?

    It is a bit cheeky, when there is someone in the house. On the other hand, if they cannot get access to your meter they will record an "Estimate Reading" based on your average usage. If the estimate is low, there would be an adjustment at the next actual reading and you could get a bit of a shock.

    Should I take voluntary redundancy to clear huge debt?

    As I understand it, leaving your job voluntarily is not quite the same thing as accepting voluntary redunuancy which is being offered by your employer. You will also qualify for a tax rebate after a number of months.

    Bad Credit Card Debt

    David Dublin Hi David. At age 68, I could write a book about money trubles, but I accepted what I did and took it on the chin. I didnt take financial institutions to court for allowing me to be stupid. I have every sympathy for everyone in trouble, but take it on the chin and moove on.
